Splash Mountain closes at Disneyland today, to be rethemed into a Princess and the Frog ride. As great as the original attraction is, it was well past time for it to change.
Disney has confirmed that Disney World’s Splash Mountain will be closing permanently on Jan. 23, 2023. Its last day of operation will be Jan. 22, 2023. No timeline has yet been given for the closure of Disneyland’s Splash Mountain.
Disney wisely left all of that out of Splash Mountain. They focused on the movie’s animated portions, which depict the African-American folktales that Atlanta writer Joel Chandler Harris wrote down under the Remus name in the 1870s and ‘80s. These stories star a classic trickster figure in the form of Br’er Rabbit, who regularly outsmarts Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear as they try to catch and eat him.
Upset Disney fans have put forth a number of arguments against this change. Some say that a ride set in New Orleans won’t thematically fit in Frontierland, where Splash Mountain is based in the Magic Kingdom. Others assume Disney will replace the dozens of audioanimatronics currently used in the rides with screens and projections, resulting in a less complex, less interesting attraction.
